Niagara
Kits with Analog Inputs
Kits featuring professional audio and video inputs for
analog A/V sources.
Turn
your PC into a high-performance streaming machine!
These
Niagara Kit bundles are based on the high-performance
best-of-class Osprey Video streaming capture cards featuring
balanced audio, BNC composite and S-Video inputs. Combined
with ViewCast workflow management software, SMIL authoring
tools and encoder management software, you have all the components
that you'll find in our top-of-the-line Niagara
Streaming Systems. |
|
The
analog Niagara Kits are available as a single channel kit
or a dual-channel kit. The dual-channel bundle includes an
additional Osprey Video streaming capture card. To supply
video and audio for both channels, ViewCast also includes
a rack-mount input panel with A/V connectors for both Osprey
Video capture cards.
The
Niagara Kits with analog input also features a low-profile
hardware design which allows for greater usability in small
form factor computers, making it the ideal bundled solution
for rack-mount encoding farms, custom enclosures, and other
form-factor constrained environments.

Add
either of this bundled packages to an Intel Pentium or Xeon-powered
desktop or rack-mount PC and you have created a professional
encoding workstation with single or multi-channel streaming!
